Following a suggestion from one of our subscribers, I have created this page to publish job resources as I find them. When I discover something that can help you in your job search, I will make them available here.
I will also use this page to publish job opportunities, when available, and dedicate space for you to add comments and ideas.
Note: I have decided to keep everything on my site FREE to use, however, some of the services included in this page may have an associated cost if you choose an extra level of their services. Please read agreements carefully before making a decision.

It can provide recruiters with quick and easy access to your Linkedin profile, PDF files or other online resources. It is quite easy to add a QR code to your resume by using the following link Add a QR code to your Resume. After clicking you will be redirected to the QR code generator page, then select: a) DATA TYPE (website URL, PDF file, etc.); b) CONTENT; c) COLOR and d) OUTPUT TYPE.

I just found this site a few days ago, and it contains some quite interesting advice to help you find a job. When you enter the site, it appears to be a combination of social media with a job management site. It is free, but it also offers a paid subscription if you want to get more exposure and additional services for your CV. The site also provides ways to show your capabilities and experience by posting and answering questions.
This is how they describe themselves:
“Bayt.com is the leading job site in the Gulf and the Middle East, connecting job seekers with employers looking to hire. Every day, thousands of new job vacancies are listed on the award-winning platform from the region’s top employers.”

Be Aware of fake job opportunities
I recently received a couple of job opportunities… Good news?! Not really.
The first sign is at the beginning of the email. They are addressing to me as a job applicant. How is that possible if I have never applied to those companies? I will include them here for you to see and be aware of similar scams.
